Like the author’s other books, this, too, is a miscellany. However, unlike all the others, Two Yellow Lab Puppies and an Old Guy aims at humor, even in the discussions that definitely are intended as edification for the reader. Readers might smile, maybe even laugh, at the observations, questions, and conclusions of the most erudite puppies ever to exist.

“How Do You Know If What You Do Is Right?” is a fascinating discussion between Shaker, the male pup, and the old guy. The text contains sixteen discussions of various subjects.

Besides the subject matter is the entertaining back and forth between Shaker and Emmy, his sister. The author skillfully delineates them as quite different personalities. Shaker is no dummy, of course, but his interests and values are often at odds with his sister’s. Emmy is not a prude, but she is very formal and strongly opinionated about what is the proper way to behave and to speak, among other things. Despite the quarrelling, the author never allows the reader to think anything other than they dearly love each other.

It is a miscellany of commentaries on absurdities prevalent in American societysuch as sleazy television fare, fraudulent and inaccurate language, Christian values, and the justice system. The author means to edify readers with his criticism in an attempt to make American society more sophisticated.

If sexual intercourse (copulation, Latin, coitus, Latin; fucking, Anglo Saxon; sleeping with, modern euphemism, sexing, modern euphemism) did not exist, neither would we. It is evolutionary biology’s mechanism to provide for the means to perpetuate our species. (Forget the God bullshit.) If it were not pleasurable, the species likely would go extinct. Why would a female endure poking by a penis if such were not fun? Her erotic feelings encourage her to stick it out until the end, so to speak––that is, until she achieves glorious orgasm, the most pleasurable sensation a human can have. Who would not want a million of them?

Reuben and Women . . . is about this pleasure. It is not a “dirty” tale. It is not about sexual perversion. It is not about “sin.” It is about humans enjoying their bodies––something theistic goons and imbeciles work day and night to profane. They ignore that Yahweh, their degenerate god, raped a virgin Jewess and impregnated her. That’s okay with them, for the do-nothing bastard Jesus was really god in carnal form. God can do whatever God damn well pleases. But don’t any of us rape a woman––not only felonious but also “sinful.”

Readers not servile to some degenerate god will enjoy the novella––the best one ever written!

No Choirboy takes readers inside America's prisons, and allows inmates sentenced to death as teenagers to speak for themselves. In their own voices—raw and uncensored—they talk about their lives in prison, and share their thoughts and feelings about how they ended up there. Susan Kuklin also gets inside the system, exploring capital punishment itself and the intricacies and inequities of criminal justice in the United States.

This is a searing, unforgettable read, and one that could change the way we think about crime and punishment.

No Choirboy: Murder, Violence, and Teenagers on Death Row is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

As a young girl, Hillary Diane Rodham’s parents told her she could be whatever she wanted--as long as she was willing to work for it. Hillary took those words and ran. In a life on the front row of modern American history, she has always stood out--whether she was a teen campaigning for the 1964 Republican presidential candidate, winning recognition in Life magazine for her pointed words as the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College, or working on the Richard Nixon impeachment case as a newly minted lawyer.

For all her accomplishments, scrutiny and scandal have followed this complex woman since she stepped into the public eye—from her role as First Lady of Arkansas to First Lady of the United States to becoming the first female U.S. senator from New York to U.S. secretary of state. Despite intense criticism, Hillary has remained committed to public service and dedicated to health-care reform, children's issues, and women’s rights. Now, she aspires to a bigger role: her nation's first woman president.

In Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History, critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal gives us an intimate and unflinching look at the public and personal life of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and political cartoons, this is a must-have biography about a woman who has fascinated--and divided--the public, who continues to push boundaries, and who isn’t afraid to reach for one more goal.

"After decades in the public eye, Hillary Rodham Clinton is still an enigma, as Blumenthal (Tommy: The Gun That Changed America) emphasizes in this compelling portrait of the former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State’s journey from budding activist to presidential aspirant." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An extraordinary book . . . that could well be mind-blowing to the thoughtful young reader who is ready to move beyond the black-and-white notion that a particular act is wrong simply because it is illegal." --Richie Partington

When does strategy become cheating? Can good luck be theft? Is killing always a crime? Real-world cases show there are often no clear-cut answers in this fascinating look at the ever-evolving world of law and order, and crime and punishment. When some people kill, they are jailed or even executed. When others do, they are celebrated as heroes. Though this example is extreme, it’s just one of many that author and lawyer Teri Kanefield explores in depth. From an examination of what constitutes a crime, why and how we punish people who commit crimes, how the government determines these rules, to how citizens have reacted when they feel laws aren’t fair, this book will challenge young readers’ thinking about law and order, crime and punishment, while giving them specific legal cases to ponder along the way. For ages 12 and up, this examination of the legal system will also include historical photography to help bring each legal case to life.

Welcome to EPISODE ONE of “Ask Me Why The Thought of a Donald Trump Presidency Scares the Shit Out of Me.” I started this ebook series not to convince anyone to change their damn vote or to get you to commiserate with me over the shit-show that the primary election season has been so far. Nope. I’m writing this to document the madness for myself and to help deal with the stress of it all. And to share some thoughts.

(Please note: This book uses some adult language, so if that kind of thing offends you, please stop reading! Recommended for mature readers 18+.)

People believe that governments and justice systems give them their rights throughout life, through specific rules, laws, and regulations, which is never true. Your human rights are yours by default, since you are a human being. Authorities may give you privileges, yet rights and privileges are different concepts. In fact, authorities take away your human rights, always, and they do so with your full agreement, in a perfect legal manner! Why? Should authorities not take away your rights, mostly when you break the law? No, since authorities write these laws, while they also create the necessary circumstances for you to break these laws, in a major conflict of interests. Why? So you eventually wave your human rights, and fall into slavery. In this book we may see how it all happens, and it starts with the laws.
